What usb cable will download pics to my pc from a Sony

Answers :

Consider NOT using a USB cable.\012\012\012

The best way to download pictures from your camera to your computer involves removing the memory card from the camera and plugging it into a card reader (either built-in to the computer or connected via USB or FireWire). This is likely to be faster than connecting the camera to the computer, and won't run down your camera's batteries.

Once the card is plugged in, it will appear to your computer as a removable drive. You can use the operating system's drag&drop facility to copy pictures from the card to the computer's hard drive, the same way you copy any other files. Or you can use any photo cataloging program.

Usb cable i went out today and got a new usb cable for my cyber-shot 3.2 mega pixels because my other cord broke. but i can not download my pics of the camera onto my computer. also i never had this progam in my computer before. because this was given to me as a gift.
